With the first half of the college season in the books, the Golf Coaches Association of America has released its fall Arnold Palmer Cup ranking. The top six men and top six women from the final ranking in the spring for both the United States and International(12 total players) will be among the 24 individuals selected to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup. The 2020 matches will be played at Lahinch Golf Club in Ireland on July 3-5.
The rankings are compiled using Golfstat’s NCAA Player Ranking as a base. Bonus points are awarded for wins and high finishes, while a player is penalized in the ranking for poor finishes. The ranking also contains a strength of schedule component.
The remaining six men’s and women’s spots for the United States will consist of five committee selections, including at least one non-Division I golfer and a coaches pick. The balance of the International team will include the men’s and women’s winners of The R&A Scholars Tournament, four committee selections and a coaches pick.
The next Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking will be announced Feb. 20, 2020.
